It provides everything you need to disclose AI-generated content, AI-powered chatbots, and AI systems to visitors – and to track and document your compliance progress through a readiness score, self-assessment wizard, and exportable compliance report. The EU AI Act is now in force. Article 50 requires disclosure when users interact with AI systems, AI-generated content, or AI-manipulated media. Article 4 requires deployers of AI systems to take steps to ensure that staff have sufficient AI literacy. EU AI Act Ready addresses both articles with practical, locally-running WordPress tools. No content or personal data is sent to external services. EU AI Act Ready is a technical transparency tool. It does not provide legal advice or guarantee regulatory compliance. #### EU AI Act Articles Covered **Article 50 – Transparency obligations** Article 50 requires clear disclosure when users interact with AI systems or AI-generated content. Specifically: * Chatbots and virtual assistants must inform users they are interacting with an AI, not a human. * AI-generated or AI-manipulated content – including text, images, audio, and video– must be labelled. * Content that could be mistaken for authentic human-created material requires clear disclosure. EU AI Act Ready supports these requirements through configurable visitor notices for AI content, AI-powered chatbots, and AI systems detected on your site. **Article 4 – AI Literacy obligations** Article 4 requires deployers of AI systems to take reasonable steps to ensure that their staff have sufficient AI literacy – understanding what AI tools are in use, their capabilities, their limitations, and how to raise concerns. The AI Literacy checklist in EU AI Act Ready lets you track whether your organisation has addressed these obligations. Final responsibility for assessing and meeting legal obligations remains with the site owner or their legal counsel. #### Who This Plugin Is For * **Bloggers and content creators** who publish AI-generated articles, images, or media and need to disclose this clearly to readers * **Businesses using AI chatbots** for customer support, lead generation, or virtual assistance * **E-commerce and SaaS sites** integrating AI personalisation, recommendation tools, or AI-generated product descriptions * **Agencies and developers** building compliant WordPress sites for EU-based clients who need documented transparency measures * **News sites and publishers** disclosing the use of AI tools in content research or production * **Any WordPress site owner** who wants to document AI transparency for internal audit, stakeholder review, or legal assessment #### Key Features * **Four Disclosure Levels** – Choose from No AI used, AI-assisted, AI-generated, or AI-generated & human-reviewed – each level shows a distinct, accurate notice to visitors * **Frontend Transparency Notices** – Automatically display clear visitor notices when content is marked as AI-generated, in four configurable styles: Banner, Inline, Badge, or Modal * **Quick Edit & Bulk Support** – Set the AI disclosure level directly from the Posts list via Quick Edit or bulk actions, without opening the post editor * **Shortcode Support** – Place an AI disclosure notice anywhere using [eu_ai_disclosure];

Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/eu-ai-act-ready/` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress Plugins screen. 2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” screen in WordPress. 3. Navigate to **EU AI Act Ready –> Settings** to configure disclosure notices, detection options, and chatbot transparency. ## FAQ ### How does the plugin detect AI-generated media? The plugin flags potentially AI-generated images using multiple heuristic signals, including attachment metadata, filenames, EXIF information, and common technical patterns. Images can also be manually marked or unmarked at any time. ### Does the plugin automatically detect AI-generated text? No. AI-generated text disclosure must be applied manually by the site owner to ensure accuracy and editorial control. The plugin does not analyze or infer AI usage in text content. ### Can I customize the disclosure messages? Yes. You can fully customize the wording, placement, and style of disclosure notices from **EU AI Act Ready –> Settings**. ### Does this plugin slow down my site? No. Detection processes run asynchronously or on demand. Front-end output is lightweight and loads only when disclosures are enabled. ### Which AI tools and chatbot platforms are supported? EU AI Act Ready supports transparency disclosures for AI-generated content created using tools such as ChatGPT, GPT-4, DALL-E, Claude, Google Gemini, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, GitHub Copilot, and similar AI platforms. For chatbots, the plugin supports disclosure notices for platforms including Formilla, Intercom, Drift, Tidio, Tawk.to, Zendesk Chat, LiveChat, Crisp, Freshchat, as well as custom or self-hosted chatbot implementations. Chatbot disclosures can be enabled per platform from the plugin settings. ### Is this plugin GDPR compliant? Yes. The plugin does not collect, store, or transmit personal data and does not process user data for AI detection or AI transparency features. All processing happens locally on your server, and no data is sent to third-party services. ### Does it work with Gutenberg, Elementor, and the Classic Editor? Yes. EU AI Act Ready works with the Gutenberg block editor, Elementor, and the Classic Editor. The AI Content Disclosure meta box appears in the editor and lets you choose from four disclosure levels. You can also set the disclosure level from the Posts list using Quick Edit, without opening the post editor. ### How do I bulk scan existing images? Go to **EU AI Act Ready –> Dashboard** and use the bulk scanning tools to process media library items in batches. ### Can I use this with custom post types? Yes. From **Settings –> Content Transparency –> Content Types**, you can enable the AI disclosure meta box, list column, and bulk actions for any public post type registered by installed themes and plugins. Posts and pages are enabled by default; all other public post types can be toggled on or off. ### Can I place an AI disclosure notice inside my content using a shortcode? Yes. Use the [eu_ai_disclosure] shortcode to insert a notice anywhere WordPress accepts shortcodes – posts, pages, widgets, or block templates. The shortcode supports optional type (content, image, chatbot), style (banner, inline, badge, modal), and message attributes. When attributes are omitted, the shortcode falls back to your saved Settings values. The shortcode renders regardless of whether the global transparency toggle is on or off. ### Does the plugin add AI disclosures to my RSS feed? Yes, optionally. From **EU AI Act Ready –> Settings –> RSS & Feeds** you can enable a plain-text “- AI Disclosure: …” line appended to RSS feed content and excerpts for posts marked as AI-generated. You can also enable a [AI Content] prefix on RSS feed titles. Both options are off by default. RSS disclosure works independently of the global transparency toggle. ### Can I manually mark content as AI-generated? Yes. You can manually mark or unmark any post, page, custom post type, or media item as AI-generated using editor controls or bulk actions. ### How does the Compliance Readiness Score work? The readiness score is a number from 0 to 100 calculated from six key obligations: AI content disclosures active, AI content items disclosed, AI images scanned, chatbot transparency configured, AI systems declared, and Article 4 AI literacy addressed. Each met obligation contributes equally to the score. The score and a checklist of unmet items are shown on the Dashboard and in the WordPress Dashboard widget. ### How does the Self-Assessment wizard work? The Self-Assessment wizard on the Assessment page walks you through six questions about how your site uses AI – covering chatbots, AI-generated content, AI images, personalisation, translation, and synthetic media. Based on your answers, the plugin identifies which EU AI Act obligations are likely applicable and recommends actions. Completing the assessment counts toward your Compliance Readiness Score. ### Can I export a compliance report? Yes. Click the Export Report button on the Dashboard. A new browser tab opens with a print-friendly report summarising your readiness score, detected AI systems, self- assessment answers, and AI literacy checklist status. You can print or save the report as a PDF for internal audit or stakeholder review. The report includes the site URL and the date it was generated. ### What is Article 4 AI Literacy and how does the checklist help? Article 4 of the EU AI Act requires deployers of AI systems to take reasonable steps to ensure their staff have sufficient AI literacy – meaning they understand what AI tools are in use, their capabilities, and how to raise concerns. The AI Literacy checklist on the AI Literacy page lets you track whether key obligations have been addressed (such as informing staff, documenting policies, and arranging training). Completing the checklist contributes to your Compliance Readiness Score. ### What happens if I deactivate the plugin? All plugin settings and AI content markers remain stored in the database. Reactivating the plugin restores all functionality. To remove all data, uninstall the plugin. ### After updating to version 1.0.2 on a German-language site, the plugin seems to have disappeared. How do I fix this? Version 1.0.2 shipped with a translation bug: the plugin’s own name “EU AI Act Ready” was incorrectly translated to “EU-KI-Act-konform” in the German language file. On sites running WordPress in German (de_DE), this caused the plugin to appear under the translated name in the Plugins list, and – if you replaced the plugin files manually – WordPress may have auto-deactivated it while the directory was momentarily empty. **Your settings and data are safe.** No database content is deleted when a plugin is deactivated. To recover: 1. Go to **Plugins –> Installed Plugins** in your WordPress admin. 2. Look for either **“EU AI Act Ready”** or **“EU-KI-Act-konform”** in the list (depending on your WordPress version, it may appear under either name). 3. Click **Activate**. That is all. All previously saved settings, AI content markers, and media scan results are restored immediately. The translation bug is fixed in version 1.0.3. After updating to the fixed release the plugin name will always display as “EU AI Act Ready” regardless of the site language. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/eff0e843547e948141c9402c096b44ecae43f5117e70d0b3af51578d3c4b8635? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Easy to use](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/easy-to-use-5359/)󠁿 [archandha](https://profiles.wordpress.org/archandha/) May 12, 2026 The plugin is easy to use and it does what it promises. The image scanning quality is ok, it detects most of our AI generated images but also digital pictures taken many years ago. But this doesn’t harm the functionality as one want to check this manually as well. The plugin offers a tool to browse through the media library and mark the images as needed. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4510f590c198636466edb22bc71e9517c990e8d354a57fc4b93ec55af4941814? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[easy](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/easy-724/)󠁿 [barakre](https://profiles.wordpress.org/barakre/) May 10, 2026 works great and easy to use [ Read all 2 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/eu-ai-act-ready/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “EU AI Act Ready” is open source software.
